Do you have it? If so, how does it manifest in your relationships? Have you tried combating it? Were you successful in doing so?
I need to save my friend from that complex. (no pun intended)
I have this. I feel this immense need to fix people. I wanna hear them out ,just be there for them n help them in whatever way possible. I've hella patience for people who need some support. There are times I put their needs before mine. When I realize it's draining me too much n I'm too tangled, I just leave. I don't let it consume me completely. I think I leave when I feel overwhelmed or when I see I can do nothing to make them feel better. But I'll never ever be in relationship with guys who are looking for saviours. I can only be there for them... Can't be in a relationship with these people. I didn't try combating it. I think it's important that people don't feel alone. As long as it's not taking too much of me, I'm fine with it.
